How many beats does an eighth rest get?

It gets half of a beat. Two eighth notes equal one quarter note.


How many beats does a eighth get?

it gets 6/8 beats


Does a sixteenth note get a one half of a beat?

Yes and no. Commonly, a quarter note gets one beat, an eighth note gets half, and a sixteenth note gets one fourth of a beat (4-4 time). Occasionally, a song will be in 4-8 or 2-8 time, then the quarter note gets two beats, the eighth note gets one, and the sixteenth note gets half a beat. That help?


What are the Values of the notes?

It depends on what time signature you're in, and therefore which note gets the beat. The most common time signature is 4/4 in which the quarter note gets the beat and there are four beats per measure. In that time signature the breakdown would be: Whole Note/Whole Rest = 4 beats (a full measure) Half Note/Half Rest = 2 beats (half a measure) Quarter Note/Quarter Rest = 1 beat ( 1/4 of a measure) Eighth Note/Eighth Rest = 1/2 a beat ( 1/8 of a measure) Sixteenth Note/Sixteenth Rest = 1/4 a beat ( 1/16 of a measure) And you can continue on subdividing the beat into smaller values. Then there are dotted notes/rests, which look exactly as the sound: one of the above notes/rests with a dot next to it. This dot indicates that you add half of the note's value to it. So a dotted quarter note would be 1 beat + 1/2 a beat (an eighth note) in 4/4.


Different drawing of musical notes and rest?

Each note or rest determines the amount of beats in for a note or rest. The time signature of a song consists of two numbers, the top number represents how many beats in a measure, and the bottom number represents how many beats a whole note gets. In 4/4 timing (4/4 being the time signature) a whole note/rest gets four beats and a measure consists of four beats. Therefore: Half note/rest- Two Beats Quarter note/rest- One beat Eighth note/rest- Half of a beat Sixteenth note/rest- Quarter of a beat and so on to 32nd, 64th, etc. Another coming time signature includes 2/2 (cut time) where a whole note/rest gets two beats and there are two beats in a measure. Therefore: Half note/rest- One Beat Quarter note/rest- Half of a beat Eighth note/rest- Quarter of a beat Etc. Other common time signatures include 3/4 (three beats to a measure), 2/4, and 6/8. Follow the same process in deriving the number of beats in a note or rest.

How many beets does a half rest get?

This depends on what the time signature is. The time signature is the fraction looking numbers at the beginning of the piece. The top number represents how many beats there are in a measure. The bottom number tells you what kind of note gets one beat. The time signature 4/4 would be interpreted like this. The top 4 suggests there are 4 beats in every measure. The bottom 4 stands for a quarter note that gets one beat. If the time signature is 4/4, a half rest would get 2 beats, just like the half note. However, if the time signature is 2/2, then a half rest would get one beat as there are only two beats per measure and the bottom 2 represents a half note getting one beat. If the time signature were 6/8, where there are 6 beats in every measure, and the eighth note gets one beat, a half note would get 4 beats as there are 2 eighth notes in a quarter, and two quarter notes in a half note. 4 eighth notes in a half note.


What note gets half a beat?

An eighth note (if the measure is in 4/4 time), because each measure gets 4 beats, therefore 1 beat is a quarter measure ergo, a quarter note. Half of a quarter is an eighth, therefore a half beat is an eighth note.
